Whoa there...i'm talking reliable street race. As a full competition rally engine like the 16v...you are talking a whole different kettle of fish...same for ciruit if you are talking serious racing not just club sprints.

Where would you genuinely race a 18RG except in Appendix J, in which case it couldn't be turboed anyway?

As for the 16v it was an awesome engine but being gear driven cams drive i suspect extended big revs could have been a problem. I found one in Finland for sale about 10yrs ago.....10K aussie before import, a tad outta my league.

nah the build i was talking about was for fast street, drags and the occassional run around the track for a bit of fun.

A full house engine is doable but like any 'proper' race engine the cost of the ancilleries is pretty serious, not to mention the build spec itself.

Put it in perspective though...my 'street race prepped' 18RGT would do as many laps of wakefield as i could handle and not even blink at the effort...they are strong engines.

PS i forgot to mention i also ran a TRD oil pump and RX7 oil cooler.
